UNITED STATES PATENT QFFICE.
CARL HOFFMAN, or ALLENTOWN, PENNSYLVANIA.
DOOR FASTENER- Application filed August 11, 1923. Serial No. 656,852.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, CARL HOFFMAN, a citizen of the United States, residing at Allentown, in the county of Lehigh and State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Door Fasteners, and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.
This invention relates to door fasteners and particularly to improvements in a door fastener adapted for locking a door in either closed or partially open position.
An object of this invention is to provide a keeper and a'latch mounted on a door and jamb adapted for locking the door in closed position and provided with operating means for the latch adapted for association with the keeper to lock the door in partially open position.
Another object of the invention is to pro vide akeeper and latch'for an outwardly opening door adapted to lock the door in closed position in which the latch is provided with an operating member adapted for locking cooperation with the keeper for holding the door in partially open position.
The invention further includes the pro vision of a U-shaped member having one leg pivotally connected with the latch and the other leg adapted for sliding movement through the keeper to guide it into locking cooperation with the keeper for fastening the door in partially open position.
The invention includes other objects and improvements in the details of construction which are particularly pointed out in the following description'and claims and shown in the accompanying drawing in which Figure 1 is a perspective view of an outwardly opening door showing my device mounted on the door and jamb and positioned for locking the door partially open. Figure 2 is a horizontal section through the door and jamb showing the invention in plan with the parts in unlocked position and the handle member shown in dotted lines in its position preparatory for the partial opening of the door, and Figure 3 is a horizontal section through the door and jamb showing a plan of the invention with the parts in position to lock the door closed.
1 in ic t s the j arch and 2 the door opening outwardly therefrom which is provided with a plate 3 rotatably supporting a spindle 4 from which projects the latch 5 adapted for locking cooperation with the keeper t3 mounted on the door jamb. The keeper is formed with a longitudinally extending recess 7 in the body portion thereof and an opening 8 communicating with said recess as shown in Figure 2. The keeper is provided with openings at 9 adapted to receive a looking pin 10 provided with a chain connection 11 secured under one of the attaching screws mounting the .keeper on the jamb. A U- shaped member 12 has one of its free ends or legs pivotally mounted in the spindle 1 as indicated at 13 and forms an operating handle for rotating the spindle to engage or disengage the latch from the keeper. The member 12 is adapted for sliding cooperation with the keeper, and the free end being inserted through the opening 8 and thus coupling the member and the keeper. When the door is opened as far as engagement be tween member 12 and keeper 6 will permit, pin 10 is positioned to prevent disengagement of the member 12 from the keeper thus effectively fastening the door in partially open position. An opening 14 is formed in the spindle L to receive the free end of the 'member 12 when the parts are in unlocked position, as shown in Figure 2, and serves to limit movement of said member toward the door thus. obviating any likelihood of the same being scarred.
Figure 3 shows the latch 5'in engagement with the keeper 6 in its position for locking the door in the closed position. By using the member '12 as an operating handle the latch may be rotated from the locked position in Figure 3 to the unlocked position as shown in Figure 2, and upon the movement of the member 12 into the position shown in dotted lines in Figure 2 the parts are ready for the movement of the door into partial open position.
It is to be noted that this invention is particularly adapted for use with doors opening outwardly and includes a slngle member adapted to act as an operating means for the latch and additionally to cooperate with the keeper for fastening the door in partially open position. When positioned as shown in Figure 1 for maintaining the door ajar, the member 12 effectual- 1y maintains the latch 5 in inoperative position so thatno. damage will be done to either latch or keeper should the pin 10,be removed and the door slammed shut.
